If you’ve ever felt that your child wasn’t flourishing in school or simply needs something the professionals aren’t supplying, you’re ready to become a “guerrilla educator.” Revolutionary and inspiring, Guerrilla Learning explains what’s wrong (and what’s useful) about our traditional schools and shows you how to take charge of your family’s education to raise thinking, creative young people despite the constraints of traditional schooling.

Llewellyn, a lecturer on the subject of home schooling and author of the classic “Teenage Liberation Handbook,” wrote this how-to book for parents who want to become more involved in their children’s education–whether through home schooling or by supplementing traditional instruction. She offers five fundamental principles–opportunity, timing, freedom, interest, and support–that, she claims, will transform the way we relate to our children and greatly assist them in growing up to be joyful, passionate creators. Useful for parents and teachers alike, this valuable book closely examines how young people learn and illuminates its practical advice with many stories that make for both insightful and enjoyable learning. Whatever schooling venue parents choose, this book will help them instill a lifelong love of learning in their children. A great book fo those you know who are thinking about homeschooling their children, especially teenagers.  206p.

Have you struggled to reconcile God’s vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker’s calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman—the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Delightfully fresh and honest, “Passionate Housewives Desperate for God” debunks the modern “desperate housewife” myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former “Christian” feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again—after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and “me-ology” destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

This book will encourage you a great deal, and will convict you even more. A great and needful book.

Shakespeare was “a great observer,” able to see and depict patterns of events and character. He understood how politics is shaped by the clash of men with various colourings of self-interest and idealism, how violence breeds violence, how fragile human beings create masks and disguises for protection, how schemers do the same for advancement, how love can grow out of hate and hate out of love. Dare anyone say that these insights are irrelevant to living in the real world?

Literature abstracts from the complex events of life (just as we all do in everyday life) and can reveal patterns that are like the patterns of events in the real world. Studying Literature can give us sensitivity to those patterns.

Peter Leithart’s book is a must for any Christian family studying Shakespeare. Glorified as Shakespeare is, it is good to analyse his works in light of biblical thought. This book includes studies for two plays in each of 3 genres. History: HenryV & Julius Caesar; Tragedy: Hamlet & Macbeth; Comedy: The Taming of the Shrew & Much Ado About Nothing. A great resource! Age 12+ 286p, 400g.

A good companion to this guide is Tales From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb.

This book is appropriate for older children who have read From Girl to Woman or From Boy to Man, depending upon gender. Explains not only where babies come from (very discreetly, of course), but how they fit into God’s glorious plan. Teaches the sanctity of life, & the importance of MARRIAGE first, no matter what the world says.

God’s Plan for the Marvelous Changes that Will Take Place!
For mothers & daughters to read together. Written after searching unsuccessfully for years for something similar. I wanted nothing like the secular books out there that just “laid out the facts” in all their starkness. After much prayer, the Lord gave me this book, which explains puberty’s changes as part of His plan for females. No imagination-provoking illustrations or descriptions.

God’s Plan for the Marvelous Changes that Will Take Place! The “boy’s book” only, this title is similar to From Girl…to Woman!, but for boys and their dads! Modestly and tactfully done, it explains all those things you need to talk about in a discreet way, as part of God’s plan for boys growing up.

Are you aware of the underlying assumptions that determine your values? Have you given much thought to how assumptions about basic reality influence and shape our culture? Assumptions That Affect Our Lives examines the roots of the modern conflict between Christianity and secular humanism by comparing ancient Greek and Hebrew culture; going beyond values to examine the underlying worldview that shapes them. It is a process critically important for understanding ourselves, others and the times we live in.

The current tension between evangelical Christians and the non-biblical ideas present in this age is an old conflict. By viewing the current situation in the context of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews, contemporary Christians can be better equipped to deal with the challenges of living in a predominately ancient Greek-based culture today.

This is a ground breaking book.

Discussion questions included at the end of every chapter.

Each year another class of high school graduates moves into a new phase of life. For those who come from faithful households, helping them remain faithful must be a top priority for their parents and churches. As these young people make decisions about education, career, finance, and marriage, they need to keep in mind the Biblical principles that should guide their adult lives.

In his book, Make It Your Ambition, 26-year-old John Notgrass expresses optimism about the role young adults can play in building strong families and strong communities of faith. Instead of following the example of those who leave the church and make unwise decisions after high school, they can set an example for others by their devotion to the way of the Lord.

Subtitled “Encouraging Young People to Live for God’s Glory,” John’s book is a call to action. Read the rest of this entry »

Safely Home by Tom Eldridge $16.00

The church spent the better half of the 20th century living with the implications of all the isms of the nineteenth century: revivalism, evolutionism, egalitarianism and feminism. The combined effect of these anti-familistic isms had finally taken its toll on the local church, transforming many into baby-sitting operations, psychological rehab centres and size-driven experiments in mass marketing – anything but the family-affirming community of saints required by scripture. But perhaps someday we will look back upon the early years of the twenty-first century as the turning point.
